Categories of in vitro test methods
Category | Exposure | Example of a standard method or guidance document |
---|---|---|
1 | Liquid exposure to suspended molecules or suspended cells | In chemico skin sensitization: direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA) (OECD, 2019) |
2 | Submerged liquid exposure with cells at the bottom of wells | In vitro skin sensitization: The ARE-Nrf2 luciferase KeratinoSens test method (OECD, 2018c) |
3 | A liquid, cream, or solid is directly applied to a biological test system such as a 3D construct | In vitro skin irritation: reconstructed human epidermis test method (OECD, 2021a) |
4 | Airborne exposure to a biological test system located on an air-liquid interface insert | Considerations for in vitro studies of airborne nano-objects and their aggregates and agglomerates (ISO, 2020d) |
5 | Exposure via multiple routes using an in vitro microphysiological system (e.g., eye-on-a-chip, gut-on-a-chip, and lung-on-a-chip devices) | Standard methods or guidance documents are not yet published to our knowledge. |
